Chapter 195: Scandal
Only those who were impeached knew that they were wrong
Looking back, I fell into the quagmire
While Mrs. Li was busy putting out the fire in the backyard, Lieutenant Zheng Yuan, the Imperial Governor of the Xiantai Supervisory Committee, submitted the impeachment of Lou Zhixin to the Zhongshu Province, and the Zhongshu was registered and submitted to the Inner Palace.
Zheng Yuanzhong listed the following three crimes: Lou Zhixin served in Hunan for less than a year, neither went to other prefectures and counties to inspect work, nor actively handled internal government affairs, but indulged in drinking and having fun, and playing in the mountains and rivers, which is a typical lack of business, slack and lazy; Ignoring criminal law, he accepted huge bribes from lower-level officials and local gentry, arranged for nearly 30 officials to be sent on errands, recommended more than 60 people for promotion, and embezzled public funds to build private houses for courtesans; is lustful and immoral, within one day, he took four concubines, and tried to abandon the pregnant concubine, fornicated with the official prostitute Zhou Shishi, and lived in the same room for a long time. The recital also provides relevant data and a partial list of bribe-givers to show that they are not hearsay.
After Emperor Zhao read it, he criticized the four words "hateful and ridiculous" and sent it to the Central Book Department for discussion and handling.
The Zhongshu Department copied dozens of copies of the song, handed over to Zaizhi, the six Shangshu and the head of the five temples of Jiutai, and of course, also sent a copy to Lou Zhixin himself.
Until this time, Lou Zhixin woke up like a dream, and when he arrived in Tanzhou, what did he do? Eat, drink, and be merry, without shame, is it so unbearable? Ask yourself, can you justifiably defend the accusations of the imperial history?
When he returned home, his face sank like water, looking depressed, Ye Qiongzhi stepped forward and asked with concern: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" As he spoke, touching his forehead with his hand, Lou Zhixin suddenly hugged her and cried:
Qiongzhi, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to you.
Ye Qiongzhi was inexplicable, and hurriedly asked: What's wrong?
The reputation of Zhixin I was ruined. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she spoke.
Mrs. Li heard the movement and ran in, Lou Zhixin handed her the fold, covered her face and wept silently.
After reading it, Mrs. Li didn't speak, handed over the fold to Ye Qiongzhi again, glanced at Lou Zhixin with disdain, and walked out of the door and called Qiu Ju: Tell the gatekeeper, close the door of the mansion, and the master will not see anyone today.
came in again, with a fierce face: surnamed Lou, are these true!
Lou Zhixin just blindly lowered his head and asked Ye Qiongzhi again: Sister Ye, do you know why you didn't stop him.
Madam, don't blame Qiongzhi, she persuaded me, and I scolded her.
You still have a lot of power, and you will scold your wife, but you are a pacifier, if you are a scholar and prime minister, do you still have the life of our women? Don't you have to soak in the women's pile all day?
Lou Zhixin snapped and knelt on the ground, Madam, Qiongzhi, I was dizzy and did a lot of foolish things, I'm sorry for you.
Mrs. Li said: If you want to kneel, you will kneel to your father and mother. Back then, when you wanted to marry Qiongzhi, your father just disagreed, saying that a man's husband should be ambitious and not indulge in the love of his children, but now, look at it----
Ye Qiongzhi reminded: Sister, it's useless to say this now, see how to remedy it, if you are exiled to Hainan, you will have to suffer a lot.
Mrs. Li thought for a moment and pointed to Lou Zhixin, "You handed over all the silver and copper coins to Sister Ye to take care of, and returned everything you took from others; Go to the study now, write a confession form, and ask the emperor to look at your loyalty in the past, and be light, tomorrow, I will go to the capital with you to ask my cousin. ”
The next day, the couple was just about to set off, and Master Zhou came to talk to Lou Dashuai about something important.
Lou Zhixin was impeached by Yushi, she knew. My Zhou Shishi has been in the music camp for seven or eight years, and he has always been the number one among the courtesans, and he has never been a performer, but he is committed to being a handsome, and he is indeed willing, but now he has done this, and his reputation has been greatly affected.
Mrs. Li asked, what do you mean by that?
It's not interesting, I just want to ask: What is the boss going to do with me, Master Zhou? If I am satisfied, the marshal can not admit the matter between men and women between us, and if the division comes to inquire, I will not admit it; If I'm not satisfied, I can go to the Criminal Division to report it, saying that Lord Lou forcibly occupied me, and you can imagine the consequences.
Mrs. Li understood, and another one took the opportunity to rip off the bamboo, so she glanced at her husband viciously, and Lou Zhixin swept away the majesty of the past, like a turtle with a shrunken head and drooping its head. looked at Master Zhou coldly:
Say, what conditions do you want?
One gave me 20,000 taels of silver, and from then on the two did not owe each other, and the second was to marry me and give me five hundred taels of pocket money every month.
You really dare to ask for it, a woman like you can't afford to be raised by the Lou family. Twenty thousand taels of silver is too much, at most eight thousand taels, otherwise, you can do whatever you like.
Hey, this sister, you are too ruthless, I am the top brand in Hunan, more than half a year, I have accompanied your father-in-law, you ask him, how many times have you slept with me, how many times do you have to do it every night, you have to toss the old lady half to death, I accompany the aristocratic rich businessman for a day, but I have to collect a hundred taels of silver. Don't think I'm just talking.
Don't say anything else, 10,000 taels, don't agree to pull it down. I can only pay you half of it first, and then pay the other half after the matter is over.
10,000 taels is fine, I don't want to do it absolutely, but I have to pay seventy percent first.
Well, write a note and get the money.
Rushed to the capital and walked into the Taiwei Mansion. Yang Cishan shook his head: Lord Lou, you have done this too badly.
Li Shi used a pleading tone: Cousin, Zhixin took other people's money, and all those who could be refunded were returned, and between him and the girl in Leying, it was not as said, he and that Master Zhou only sang songs and poems, and there was no matter between men and women.
Speaking of this Master Zhou, you may not know that her name is Zhou Yuefen, she is a famous rotten thing, as long as she gives money, she can get on, her reputation in Lin'an is stinky, if she insists that you forcibly occupy it, you can't tell even if you have a thousand mouths.
This Zhou Shishi is fine, and he won't bite back.
Also, do you know how it was spread by both the court officials and the people of Li in the capital? It is said that your Lou Zhixin is very lustful, and people gave him four maids, and he slept all night at once, and said that all the courtesans in Tanzhou Leying who have some looks have not slept, look, where is this political party, is it clearly a hungry ghost in the sex.
Tell me, you haven't seen a woman, you have seen one after another. Cousin, and that Miss Ye, which point is worse than others, I really want to marry, at most I want to marry another one, then I have to look at the character.
It's been more than half a month since you did this today, and no one has spoken for you, and you don't dare to defend yourself, which shows that it's all true, this errand can't be saved, and it's good if you don't manage Linghai.
Lord Taiwei, it is my fault that I made a thousand mistakes, I was dizzy and failed to live up to the expectations of the queen and you, please forgive me. I won't dare again.
There is no future, and some things are missed and missed, and they can no longer be made up. Originally, the queen wanted to let you go down to the ruling side and do some political achievements, and when the time came, you would return to the capital, and if you couldn't be a scholar, you could also be a waiter, and in a few years, it would not be impossible to enter the ruling office. I didn't expect it to be like this.
Captain, who are the people who are now seconded by the DPRK and China?
Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China knew that you were recommended by the empress, and only Cheng Song and Su Shicheng seconded it, and they did not propose how to deal with it severely.
Tai Lieutenant, I have repeatedly thought in the past few days that this matter is not simple, and there must be something strange in it. Some time ago, I impeached Su Shicheng and Chen Zhishan, and as a result, they were fine, and I was fine. You see, when I went to Tanzhou, the soldiers and horses sent four women at once, all of them young and beautiful, and they took the initiative to make a gesture in front of me; That Zhou Yuefen Zhou Shi suddenly ran from Lin'an to Tanzhou, from the first time I saw her, she threw herself into her arms, drunk me with wine, and let me stay with her; Also, how did the numbers of my food and drink come from, and how did others know about the money I received?
According to what you say, someone is eyeing you and deliberately collecting these information and then providing it to the imperial historian. Otherwise, how can the surname Zheng know. That is to say, someone has set a trap for you, and you, at all, are not wary at all, and jump in.
It seems so.
That's still to blame you, why don't you want to think about it, this beauty and money are harmful things, you must stay calm and sober in front of them.
Lou Zhixin nodded helplessly, and Mrs. Li interjected: As the saying goes, flies don't nail seamless eggs, if he is this egg, as long as there are no cracks in himself, no matter how many flies there are, it will be fine. Cousin, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, you go into the palace and beg Niangniang, so that our seamed egg can't be broken anymore.
When Yang Cishan heard this, he sneered, or my cousin can speak, for her sake, I will beg my mother for mercy with a thick face. In the future, if you treat my cousin badly, you will be better off dead than alive.
